Inscriptions

Inscriptions are modifications to Combat Equipment found within the statistics of that item. Inscriptions stack additively.

The higher the rarity of the combat equipment, the more inscriptions show up on it, and the better the possible values of the inscriptions.^[1]

Inscriptions apply to Weapons, Components, and gear
All Inscriptions have an icon beside them that shows the application of the inscription.
A Cog Icon means the inscription is applied only to that particular Combat Equipment.
A Suit Icon means the inscription is applied to all Combat Equipment currently used by the javelin.
Combo or Ultimate can only receive bonuses from their relevant combo inscription or ultimate inscriptions. Any other inscriptions will not affect these two javelin abilities.
Short forms used:
- Dmg: Damage
- Weap: Weapon
